It's almost Thanksgiving!! WHAT??

Is it just me or did November fly by wayyyy too swiftly? I am having guests for Thanksgiving Dinner and I am way behind on my preparations. The Christmas openhouse went great and we had a wonderful time. I am looking forward to our next openhouse which is Dec 5 and 6. It is fun to sell a lot of things but more fun to just be with friends.

I had intended to post several recipes throughout November that could be used for your Thanksgiving meal but as I said time just got away from me. I am going to post one recipe tonight though and hope to post several good ones throughout December that can be used for your special Christmas Dinners.

Frozen Cranberry Salad is a favorite in our family and my kids would be VERY UPSET if I did not make it for our Thanksgiving and Christmas Dinners. I only make it twice a year because it has whipping cream in it!! It is very delicious I think you will love it.

Whip heavy cream with powdered sugar and vanilla until soft peaks form.Fold into cranberry mixture.Now you can put it in a loaf pan, freeze and then slice it. I like to put mysalad in a pretty bowl, freeze and let my guests scoop out as much as they want. That's it....simple yet delicious.

Frozen Cranberry Salad...WILL be on Farmchick's Thanksgiving table on Thursday!!!

Looks good Farmchick!! I will have to try that for Christmas. I am trying to straighten up before tomorrow, when I make my residence at the hospital until Friday afternoon. Hope you all have a festive Thanksgiving!! Rita

I've been waiting to see what you would be cooking up for thanksgiving! this does look good.. I'm going to be making rosa marina salad.. maybe i'll post the recipe if I have time! wishing you a blessed thanksgiving!!hugsvivian

Mmmm...sounds yummy! Unfortunately, I'd have to leave out the nuts, due to our youngest son's allergy to tree nuts. It would still work, though, don'tcha think?

Please keep my hubby in your prayers. He has been diagnosed with a herniated disc. He will have an MRI tomorrow morning at 8:30 a.m. and will be referred to a neurologist/neurosurgeon. He's in quite a bit of pain, which stinks anytime, but especially during the holidays.

About Me

I love living on the farm. I am a farmer's daughter and farmer's wife too! I am here to share our life on the farm as I know many people do not understand how hard our farmers and ranchers work. I love all things agriculture related. I also will be sharing recipes and any other thought I have. ;) I live with my husband and our three children on our 4th generation farm/ranching operation in North Dakota. We are blessed to raise our children on the farm and to be stewards of the land. I love cooking from scratch in the old fashion farmstyle way, gardening and crafting. We raise wheat, flax, soy beans and sunflowers on our farm.
I love when you visit and especially like when you leave me a comment.
I love making new friends and most certainly will pop over to visit you!
I have a home based business in which I make soy candles and other scented products. Check out my website. You will find the link on the right hand side of my column.
Thanks for stopping by...come back soon. :)
